Notre Dame meets Ohio Northern

-

Go Irish! No wait, I mean go bears! This weekend my brother Zach and his best friend Skip, who both go to the University of Notre Dame, came down to ONU. They arrived early Saturday morning to watch me race in our home meet. I've visited them about four or five times last semester so I was excited to have them down here at ONU for the first time. 

After the meet we headed to Lima where we grabbed dinner at Beer Barrel with one of my best friends, Larkin. Zach had been there before but this was Skips' first time and he loved it! It was so nice catching up with them and just hanging out. After dinner we went on a little shopping trip to TjMaxx which was much needed. I ended up getting a cute shirt for a country concert festival I'm going to this summer. When we were back on campus we played some card games in my dorm and just chilled for the evening. 

The next day I had to work an indoor marathon that our team was hosting at KingHorn so while I was doing that, Zach and Skip got their long run in on our country roads. After the indoor marathon was over, I gave them a tour of campus, as you can see from our picture with Klondike in Dicke. They really loved campus, especially the engineering building. We grabbed dinner at El Campo, because who visits ONU and doesn't eat there? We ended the night by driving to Findlay and going to mass at Saint Michaels. It was a great way to end such a fun weekend with them! I miss them already but I'm planning a trip to ND soon so stay tuned :)

Final Blog

I can't believe I am writing my last and final blog for this semester! Through the last couple of months, I have really enjoyed blogging about my life and what we were doing in class. This past week has been bittersweet as my friends and I are spending as much time with each other that we can on campus until this fall. I'm excited for a nice little break and to go home but I'm sad that I won't be living with my best friends. For this final blog, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some of the best memories I have from this second semester: 1. The snowstorm that canceled classes and practice for 2 days! My friends and I had a movie marathon, a snowball fight, and hung out until 5 in the morning. It was so much fun, and our football friends and I got closer.  2. My brother and his best friend Skip visiting and spending the weekend with me here! They watched me race at our indoor track meet, grabbed dinner at Beer Barrel and El Campo, went to mass, and hung out.

First Outdoor Track Meet!

This past weekend we had our first outdoor track meet of the season in Indianapolis at Marian University. It ended up being a 15-hour day, with the bus leaving at 6:15 in the morning and not returning until 9:45 at night. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time we got back. I started my first outdoor season for ONU by racing the 5k. Right before my race it started to rain, and it did so the entire race. I didn't mind though; I actually like racing in the rain. I ended up running a decent time (sub-20), but I know I can do better as the season progresses. I've been dealing with iron deficiency, so it's been a little bit of a struggle but we're getting there! My parents came to the race which I was so excited about. The last time I saw them was spring break and although it wasn't that long ago, I still missed them so much. My parents are my best friends and whenever I'm home from school I spend a lot of time with them. Since I live just over an hour away from

Lima Trip!

  No race this weekend? No problem. Lima trip it is! This past weekend was my first free weekend since being back this semester. My coach had myself and a few others not race to let our legs rest for conference this week and it was so nice! With all this free time, I knew I wanted to spend my day doing something fun, and a little trip to Lima was exactly what I needed.    Larkin, Abbi, and I left for Lima with Starbucks in our hands and money in our pockets waiting to be spent at the mall. Going to the mall is very dangerous for me because I always know I'm going to walk out of there spending more money than I anticipated. To no surprise, that's exactly what happened. I ended up buying these cute black yoga pants from American Eagle and a brown tank top. They both were so cute I couldn't pass them up! Larkin and Abbi spent way more than me, making me feel a little better about my purchases.   After shopping for an hour or so we grabbed lunch at Panera and talked a
